Happy Birthday My Boy.

Today you turn FIVE!

I was getting ready in the bathroom this morning and you came running in ... Before I could even say Happy Birthday to you, you were already telling me it was your birthday. So I wished you a very Happy Birthday and then you asked if you were going to Kindergarten today. I am so happy that you are so excited about going to Kindergarten, but slow down, I don't want the next five years to go as fast as the first five.

You keep me on my toes..ALL.DAY.LONG.

A few fun things to remember what you are doing/enjoying at this point in your life:

- taking the hose and filling up the sandbox until it is over flowing with water, you think it is the coolest and continue to do it when we are not looking, even though you have been asked not to do it
- you love going to the ball field on Tuesday night, you and the other boys go behind the fields to catch home runs
- currently you have one pair of jeans that DO NOT have a hole in the ..I think it's the left knee. EVERY SINGLE PAIR of jean/army pants you own have been patched compliments of Grandma Shirley. (the one pair of jeans that don't have a hole in them, I just purchased for 'good' events we may need to go to, you wore them to Sunday School the other day and we went outside that day to play...huge grass stain in them immediately, but I didn't expect anything less)
- you have been 'hiding' stuff in your room, the other day I just had to go up and peek and I found one of ellery's old purses under your bed filled with dollar bills, change, bakugan cards, plastic spiders and other miscellaneous things that are 'important' to you these days
- legos. i have built more ships, cars, and boats in the last few months than I ever thought I would.

I love you my 'little' boy.
